We had to back off about a week ago because my recovery time started to increase after therapy instead of decrease.
I am now allowed to walk or ride a bike for 10-15 minutes as a warmup before my exercises. I still cannot run. Projected date for first jog is March 20, a week after the season opens here.
I'm visiting my parents in southern California right now, so I get the please of walking outdoors instead of on my treadmill.

Hi Garth:
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Will you be doing more evaluating / mentoring this year until you are healed. Also, depending upon your recovery thinking about scheduling and becoming more involved in the assignment role.
Thanks
